“Welcome to Our Universe at Oakey Doakey!”
BACKGROUND
My name is Anastasia and my background is primarily working in arts media doing PR and marketing development as well as participating in dozens of international art fairs and galleries. Through the years I have been inspired by the hundreds of artists I have worked with. They taught me how art can improve someone's quality of life and spiritual wellbeing. After a while, I realized the best way to promote these artists was to start my own gallery and use the skills I have gained throughout my career to introduce the world to these amazing paintings, sculptures, drawings, and photographs.
MISSION STATEMENT
I strongly believe that art is not just an image or object but something to be deeply admired and appreciated. It is a transfer of energy, from the artist’s hands to the viewer’s soul. That it can impact someone so deeply that it becomes an essential part of a person’s home and a person’s heart. The relationships I have had with artists have been varied: some were passing encounters, some were lifelong friendships. But no matter what, I have always noticed the mystical and dynamic energy that exists in their pieces. I am pleased to offer you a slice of their magic through these hand-selected works of art.
CULTURE
OakeyDoakey Art Gallery is a community that opens its doors to everyone. We welcome and encourage people from a variety of backgrounds and identities to join us in our goal of creating a richer and more diverse art world.
OFFER YOUR PRICE
Our art gallery is excited to announce our new purchasing option called Offer Your Price. We understand that art is an investment, and we want to make it accessible to everyone. With Offer Your Price, you have the opportunity to negotiate the price of the art piece you love. We hope this new way of purchasing art will encourage more people to bring home a piece of art they truly admire.
PURCHASES
When you purchase artwork from us, we will also send you a complimentary shirt based on the piece you bought. As a plus, by wearing our work, you can share your love of art and the joy it brings you wherever you go! After all, what’s better than wearing your art near your heart?
SUSTAINABILITY
Here at Oakey Doakey Art Gallery, we love the ocean as much as we love art. The beauty and power of nature is a major inspiration for many of our gallery’s art pieces. Because of this 5% of every art purchase through our gallery goes to our social initiative Artists against plastic- where we donate 5% from all purchases on our site to organize local beach clean ups to collect garbage from our oceans, rivers, and streams. Check our events to see when you can join the next one.
If you can’t attend but would like to donate just click the button and 100% of the funds will be used to clean our beaches.
In conclusion, we hope that you get a chance to either look around either our online or real life gallery and may the art be with you!
